thinking music (game 2)

0:00:00
0:06:08

hey we're back again with the second composition game! this one is based on the harmonic series :o

start with a justly tuned major triad (i added a 6th for spice) with frequency ratios 2:3:5. each move the player can do one of two things; multiply or divide a voice two times by a 2, 3, 5, or 7, or tune one voice to a multiple of the frequency of another voice. the goal is to reach another simply tuned (or reasonably simply tuned) major triad.

this is all towards my eventual goal of creating a system of harmonically-informed free microtonality

here's the pitch log from max btw. think i may have added some octaves in post but whatever!

    Intriguing and beautiful! :) I had to take a look inside the remixing environment to see how you did it. One can only wish that Audiotool would have easier microtonal control. ;)

      That's very nice to know, thanks! :) I find your music particularly interesting, and I especially love that they are so experimental. Your really dope jazz harmonies are also a big plus. :)

      Are you saying that you got MAX/MSP to communicate with Audiotool via MIDI? That sounds insanely awesome! I'd love to have a look at the patch! :)

      thank you for the love frigolito! I'm honored that you've taken time to listen to my music :) your music has taught me so much about composition and experimentation.

      re: microtonal control, yesterday I figured out a way to control the frequency of multiple oscillators through midi control via max/msp, so the process for composing free microtonal music in AT is much much simpler! I'm planning on posting something of that this week, hopefully with the max patch included.

    sorry for all the repubs this sounds somewhat different from how it does in the studio. not sure why...

    fixing some grossness but whatever this is pretty low effort :/
